Hobgoblin
Wychwood Brewery Co., Witney, Oxfordshire, England - Ruby Beer
Saturday 17 March 2012 – 5.2%Alc./Vol. 81 / 100
Initial Thoughts
The Wychwood Brewery Co. has got a great look! All of their products have a fun “wicked” sort of goblin and witches type of motif... good custom glass, great label, a quality presentation. Deep reddish, copper liquid under a big bubble head. Slightly fruity nose...
First Sip
A tangy sweet malt hand in hand with a moderate, steady bitterness. Very pleasing to drink!
Halfway Through
Truly enjoyable, this beer somehow manages a “warmth” that is characteristic of stronger beers in the 6.5 to 7% alcohol range... At 5.2% it’s a little stronger than most beers, but the effect is surprisingly nice to find in a less intoxicating brew for certain!
Bottoms Up
The Wychwood folks truly put together some wonderful beers and offer them for sale in a really entertaining and highly quality presentation. Hobgoblin is a great example of the brand. Only moderately wicked, but highly satisfying!
